Baron Burrick shot with a longbow for purpose, otherwise no longbowman would shoot arrows at the plate armor like a psychopath.

The full-plate armor knight is a knight, a steel crossbowman, and an enemy of the infantry phalanx. The real meaning of the longbow is to eliminate the infantry legion to the maximum extent... Although light arrows and heavy arrows are difficult to shoot through the plate chest, but what about the arms, legs and necks?

But Bilic didn't expect Pan Sheng to be so confident and put the target forty steps, which was a distance of 65 yards away.

Now the problem is, the Baron doesn't think he can shoot correctly.

Pan Sheng completed the loading of ammunition and igniting the fuse in a very standard posture, beautiful and quick movements.

Although it is a little more complicated than the commonly used flintlock gun machine, it is not a problem for him. The Beiyang Military Academy started initial training with a flint gun.

Pan Sheng was very thief. He wanted people to see his skillful movements to have a good impression of this old Ming-made fuse bird gun, but he did not want people to pay too much attention to his movements. He spoke while loading and said: "This is the Beiyang Military Weapon Bureau built a gun in the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. It was the best bird gun three years ago. The barrel was long and straight, but this batch of guns had a small problem. After shooting, the tenons would be shaken off."

"There are too many imitations of our bird guns. Those muskets look the same but are far less useful than them, so each batch has unique disadvantages. For example, when using this batch, you need to remove the strip and insert it on the belt."

This was the rhetoric that Pan Sheng thought of on the road, and even laid the groundwork for future arms sales. Although he didn't know whether Marshal Chen would allow Tang Er to sell it from the Changsheng Military Weapon Bureau, if he wanted to sell it, it would definitely be a defective product with problems.

This batch of guns was actually renovated last year. Changsheng's military craftsmen made new guns as they made tenons. The old guns were not used, so this problem occurred.

He knocked on the breastplate, which was similar to the ordinary breastplate used by Ming soldiers, and was even a little thinner. He did not believe that England's wrought iron skills were stronger than their steelmaking skills. If the bird gun could make a hole in the Ming army's breastplate at thirty steps, then forty steps could penetrate the English breastplate.

The biggest problem is accuracy.

The problem lies in the bird gun opening. After the fifth year of Wanli, the Beiyang Military Administration accepted the suggestion of the Xuanfu Martial Arts Hall to change the flat-headed wire rod to Qijiguang-type copper concave half-clip rod, which fully fits the shape of a lead ball to avoid being squeezed and deformed when pushing the gun chamber.

The putter he used is still an old-fashioned iron flat-head hardwood, so you should be extra careful when pushing the bullet.

This will also bring about a huge difference in accuracy between training and the battlefield. You can usually keep the lead balls spherical in a careful manner. You don’t care about so many things on the battlefield. You can rush in three times. If you don’t get it, you will be beaten up by the lead balls in the gun chamber... After thirty steps, who knows where the lead balls will fly?

Raise the gun, push the shoulder, and do it in one go.

Aim, pull the trigger, calm your mind and calm down.

Pan Sheng is very experienced in this matter, and he has practiced it.

In the earliest training, I was afraid and shaking because the fuse was slid around the gunpowder to the drug pool and the ignition of the medicine room. As a result, I was deducted money every time I trained, and I was punished to wash socks and get foot wash water for others because I was punished.

Of course, he was not the only one who had this problem. At that time, there were old acquaintances in the water pumps installed in Beiyang Daying.

The lower-level officers do not prohibit this. If the soldiers do not release the guns well, no one will blame others for looking down on you. However, Ye Mengxiong banned such flag soldiers and private punishment. As a result, he found that the training was poor after the ban, which caused the flag soldiers who were punished by others were even more miserable. They would have to be fisted and kicked.

The final military law was to eliminate military fines and confiscate military salaries for one year. The training of the punishment of the penalties still existed, but it only increased the punitive military training of the penalized flag army and also increased the education of the lower-level officers.

Bang!

Forty steps away, the breastplate was knocked to the left.

Pan Sheng looked as usual in the admiration of everyone, handed the bird gun to his subordinates and nodded slightly to the baron.

The servant picked up the breastplate. There was a hole on the right side of the front of the breastplate. Pan Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and decided that he would never use this gun to open the lead ball for the second time or be deformed by a strip when loaded into the barrel.

He aimed at the middle, but at the moment of firing the gun, he felt that he had skewed to the left. This gun should have been shot or hit the left side of the breastplate, and the breastplate should have been knocked away to the right.

Of course, it is possible that the gun barrel is tilted to the right, but the possibility is very small. In the end, the gun barrel was made by Chen Mu in charge of the Nanyang Wei era. It was only last year that the name of the craftsman carved on the gun barrel was worn off, and the quality was guaranteed.

After all, there are two reasons why the gun cannot be shot correctly. Either there is a problem with the gun or the person has a problem.

The advancement of technology is to try to avoid problems while making people less problems.

Looking at the hole left by the lead bullet in the breastplate, the Baron put down the musket he had just held in his hand. Although his musket looked complicated with etching techniques, it was actually a handicraft. The blacksmith in his village could make the pattern on the wooden handle beautifully, but it might not be able to drill the musket barrel as straight as the pole in Pan Sheng's hand.

What's more, just as Pan Sheng was not confident in his ability to use a longbow, the Baron, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, believed that he could throw the dagger on the breastplate after walking a few more steps, but he might not be able to hit it with a musket.

"This is indeed a good weapon, but I still don't think it is worth three pounds. Is it more appropriate than buying six such breastplates for my soldiers?" The Baron smiled, raised his hand to point at a fully armed servant behind a knight, and said to Pan Sheng: "A set of breastplates, wall protection, leggings, and a quasi-gun knight armor like that, with a helmet with a neck protection, is only forty-five shillings. I can prepare him a horse for the rest of the money, and I will have another knight."

Old Taylor, who was the translator, sighed and looked at the poor Baron. He knew very well that the "merchant" from the Ming Empire behind him did not understand pounds, shillings, pennies, and even three pounds of a musket were decided casually.

Sell ​​weapons? Whether to sell them or not is as good as you want.

But Old Taylor still explained to Pan Sheng very professionally: "One pound is three taels of silver, twenty-two shillings, two hundred and forty pence."

Even so, Pan Sheng was unwilling to let go of the price. He just used the baron's eyes to state the facts: "Knight? It's useless. As long as a farmer carries a bird gun and releases a knight, it will be gone."

Only Pan Sheng knew that he was not like, but was indeed declaring the fact that the turtle shells riding on horses in the French King's Army were killed by black soldiers who could not do anything except walking, turning, and firing guns under Yang Ce.

He raised his hand and said, "A bird gun, with three fuses and a hundred lead balls, you can see its quality; if you want a baby like that, I can think of a way when I go back, the price may be a little more expensive... To be honest, Jazz looks like a good person."

"The whole world is using firearms. Ming Dynasty, North Korea, Myanmar, Japan, Portugal, Spain. You should also prepare some bird guns, even if they only have ten shots."

Baron Burrick looked a little loose, but he finally shook his head and said, "You don't understand, just like the second soup asked me why we used a longbow instead of that multi-layer composite bow."

"That kind of bow will crack quickly in England, and the longbow is simple to make, and it can make a large number in three years; my farmers will use bows and arrows, and when they recruit hundreds of good bows, muskets are not good, and to practice to your level, a lot of gunpowder is needed. I don't have that much gunpowder for the farmers to practice."

Pan Sheng was happy: "Gunpowder, if you need Tang Er, you should be able to get it too, he has a good idea."

Burlick still shook his head. He smiled when Pan Sheng looked like "We have everything" and said, "If you really want to do business so much, I have a business for you. The Royal Armor and the Tower of London Armor together propose to the House of Lords to increase orders for purple shirts to Europe."
